Hello. This is Kay Burleeee from Sky news reporting live from the gates...oh sorry, there are no gates...from outside the walls of Marshmallow Mansion in Banchory.
We are here to see if there is any truth in the rumour that Mrs Rebecca Meldrum has finally decided to step back from her online career. The lady in question has not been heard from or seen since yesterday after it emerged that she screenshot a picture of someone giving the finger just after she deleted her black square on instagram. While some may have believed this was because it didn't go with her orange filtered aesthetic, it has been more widely interpreted as an insult to the BLM movement.
This is not Mrs Meldrum's first foray into racist activity. A quick google search will show that she has history in this particular area. It is claimed she apologised for what has become known as "liftgate" but the apology was more to herself than anyone she may have offended. More recently, she compared her dog's uncut and unruly coat as a "fro". This remark was hastily altered when her stupidity was pointed out to her.
It appears that she may not be able to wriggle her way out of this situation as easily. Her selling page for Tropics skincare has been deactivated after they were made aware of her actions. It is unclear at this time whether this is a ploy as another Tropic selling influencer has also deactivated her main account.
Her lapdog, sorry slave, sorry husband has issued a statement saying she has had "a tough old year" and is going to focus on "being a Mum". Incidentally her career was supposedly built on "being a Mum" so read into that what you will.
In the meantime, her facebook, twitter and two instagram accounts have been deactivated and her hardened fans are understandably bereft.
Blame is being placed entirely at the feet of "overweight" and "unemployed" "trolls" by these sheep, sorry fans (I just can't get the words out today). The fact that she is being called out by some of her former influencer colleagues should bring the focus back to Mrs Meldrum's actions.
So what happens now? Only time will tell. Her husband is rumoured to be doing a 3 week stint on a local oil rig but this remains unconfirmed. He changed his own instagram name recently so some are questioning if there is an attempt to rebrand underway.
We contacted the police but they refused to comment at this time. It has been reported that they are still searching for the 15 trolls that are responsible for Mrs Meldrum's previous 6 week social media silence.
In the meantime, superfans will be happy to know that her youtube channels can still be viewed so they will be able to see their heroine in her natural habitat. After all "youtube is her jam".
In other news, there are reports that police are looking for a missing dog that hasn't been seen on his instagram page in a few days. His pawrents were unavailable for comment.
Now to the weather: our usual Barry Baltic weatherman cannot be located but it's "fare" to say that there are storm clouds gathering over Banchory, expect some tear showers and plenty of gaslighting later.
